Well, we have all been waiting for this (Mr. Calder especially )...... A Movie Review !!!
I just watched the movie 12 Monkeys, and it has made its way up to my top "Time Travel" movies. The film has many "uncomfortable" camera angles that support the running theme, "disorientation". The audience is given many slanted and distorted shots setting the visuals for two different time lines, and giving the effect of mental strain.
I recommend the movie to anyone that enjoys a confusing "Back to the future-esque" plot. The film itself made a direct connection to Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo. It also made this connection indirectly by contrasting the actors roles (in Vertigo, the male role is the "sane" one, and the female was "insane". In 12 Monkeys it was the opposite)
On futher investigation, I found out that the director of 12 Monkeys is the Writer and Director of the Monty Python series, Terry Gilliam
Be sure to check out more from this director.
